[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 1001443, member: 50419"] I am working on aligning my Talley One Piece mounts or my rifle. I have read to fix windage alignment on these that I would probably have to shim them. Seems that adding shims to the rings is going to change the ring to scope contact and possibly harm the scope? If you do endorse shimming, what kind of material do you recommend? I have read anything from tape to beer cans????? Also, I have heard of people just compensating for the alignment errors in their drop charts. Kinda cheating the system a little but curious how they do that. I assume shooting on an absolutely still day to figure out how much it is off and then setting the offset in the shooting program is how that works???? Thanks ahead of time for your advice. [/QUOTE]
